.Brilliant Project Management: What the Best Project Managers Know, Say and Do

by: Stephen Barker, Rob Cole

March 01, 2007
As the title suggests and the other reviewers have agreed, this is a great book about project management. At around 150 pages, it is quite short and although it is written in a light-hearted and engaging way it doesn't feel short on content. Real world advice is given in the areas listed below and you also get a feel for how the authors see these different pieces fitting together to support one another (i.e. running a lessons learned log alongside the risk and issues logs - facilitating early utilisation of new knowledge and removing the `chore' perception from an end of project lessons learned debrief). But if you would like really detailed information regarding any of them you may still end up buying supplemental materials, which is something ... Read More:

.Dark Desires After Dusk (Immortals After Dark)

by: Kresley Cole

June 02, 2008
This is one of the best books i have ever read. Its plot will have you stuck to the sofa making you unable to put it down until you've gotten to the end. I wasn't sure about it at first but after starting to read i couldn't stop. I now look very forward to reading the other books in the immortal series.

.Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark, Book 1)

by: Kresley Cole

June 02, 2008
This was my first foray into this genre. I must say, I was initially put off by the cover as it looked like one of those novels that desperate or under satisfied women read - and to be fair...it was - as it jumped right into the passion pit within the first ten pages. BUT...it was well written with a good story line and great character development that made you understand the feelings / agendas of each individual. I liked the author's style of letting readers into the thoughts of the two main characters at important moments. I did think Emma held out a bit too long in satisfying her desires, and Lachain was a bit overly sensitive to her reluctance for a sex-starved, middle ages type Scotsman. As well, there were a couple of storylines that went unanswered (Lucia ... Read More:

.Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night (Immortals After Dark, Book 3)

by: Kresley Cole

December 03, 2007
I've got all the books from the series though I didn't read them in order. This was actually the first one I read and peaked my interest to read more, as although it's a series, the stories stand alone.
After reading the rest of the series this one is definitely my favourite by far. One thing that Kresley Cole which is very impressive is write the story switching between both points of view. You get to know Bowen as the tortured Lykae who believes he lost his true mate years ago and has entered the Hie in order to effectively ressurect her. Then of course there is Mariketa, a 23-year old human witch who hasn't entered immortality yet and isn't aware of the extent of her powers. A major plus for me about this story is that the fated mate is NOT a valkyrie. ... Read More:

.No Rest for the Wicked (Immortals After Dark, Book 2)

by: Kresley Cole

October 31, 2006
This is the second full length novel and third story in the Immortals After Dark Series.

It opens with Kaderin the Coldhearted (Valkyrie) coming to kill vampire Sebastian Wroth. The villagers below his castle are apparently terrified of him even though he's done nothing to provoke their fear. However, it quickly becomes apparent that she is his destined Bride, and rather than kill him, she flees, leaving a somewhat disgruntled vampire behind. Their meeting has two consequences - Sebastian's heart begins to beat, and Kaderin after centuries of being an unfeeling killing machine starts to feel emotion again.

Kaderin has more important things on her mind, however. She is about to take part in the Talisman's Hie, a kind of supernatural scavenger hunt, with ... Read More:

by: Kresley Cole

October 15, 2007
Having read the first instalment of the mac carrick brothers and absolutly loved it i wondered if "if you desire" would be as good as the first, well i need not have worried it was fab.
